Life was simple, not bland, it was just as is. As a young sproutling life was much more exhilarating and new. As the seasons went by I would try and spot each different type of animals. I remember one summer someone even attached a swing to me. Now to pass the time I try and count my spikes and watch my autumn leaves fall. It’s not as exciting as it used to be, but life goes on. I can tell I’m getting old, now I don’t even curse when a mouse carelessly runs up my roots.

It was a whirlwind of noise and panic. When the bomb fiercely crashed there was a pandemonium. That’s was until badged men came ushering away and telling us to leave. The men wore an emblem I had never seen, it was a magenta triangle and underneath spelled, la sagesse est le pouvoir. Somehow I knew what this meant, Wisdom is power. Suddenly another badged man, not appearing to wear the same logo as the rest ushered me away.

Facts- Recently there have been some major breakthroughs in the meat industry. This is pretty big news as Australia ranks in the top 10 countries that eat the most meat. In labs across Australia, they’ve figured how to make meat without having to harm animals. Basically, they take cells from animal blood and a serum full of nutrients and after a short period of time it should eventually turn into muscle tissue and from there it would turn into meat. But it doesn’t come cheap the first one took 400 000 dollars to make, they say that soon that we’ll be seeing this meat in stores. Although some farmers don’t think its fair to call this meat, meat, as they think it not meat as it doesn’t come directly from meat.

Questions- Who thought of the idea of this type of meat ? Why making meat this way work?

Understanding- I know understand that there is more than one way to make meat and also that there is also vegetarian and vegan options for people who want to eat meat.

Fact/summary-Recently on Hawais Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens there have been continuous eruptions and considerably large earthquakes. The killuea eruptions have caused around 2000 people to evacuate and 26 home to be destroyed. Killuea is on of the worlds Most active volcanos as its been erupting constantly for 35 years.

Although the recent eruptions have had no big outbreaks they are still extremely dangerous and residents have been told to evacuate if their home is 19km within the volcanoe. The eruptions have reached 1150c.

Hawaii defence agency have told the media that it’s not the time for sightseeing and that all nearby residents to stay away from affected areas.

Questions-

Was this the biggest eruption of killuea, if not what was?

Has president donald trump made any responses from the attacks if so, what?

Understanding– I know understand how dangerous active volcanos can be and understand although places like Hawaii seem like paradise there is much more to it.

The last few days had been unusual, to say the least. I had been exploring the evergreen forest behind my house to find a ship of some sort, at least that’s what it appeared to be.

It was a pandemonium. It was a room of animals. It defied everything I knew of animals, they interacted playfully as though they could speak to each other, it was like the stories, mice and lion playing together. I went up to the to pet the luscious tabby when I realised it was made of what appeared to be a substance almost like light. The tabby had a luminous glow, it was although it could speak to me.

Fact- Recently Argentinian volunteers have been busy building the first economically friendly school in Argentina. It is made with 25 000 kilos of rubish. They used 2000 tyres, 14 000 aluminium cans and 10 000 glass and plastic bottles. It made out of 60% recycled materials. This type of building is called an earth ship. It sustains itself, which means its produces its own energy and water by collecting rain water and solar panels. 100’s of volunteers spent a month and a half building this school.

Questions- who’s idea was it to create these types of buildings and what is the name of the school?

Understandings- I know understand that there are so many new and innovative ways to be economically friendly and that it can have a huge impact in the long run.

I was always know as a curious and tenacious kid. Some times for better and sometimes for worse. I was always exploring and wandering the evergreen forest behind my house. Usually the most exiting I would see would be a fox. But today was not the usual. I saw some kind of ship, it look futuristic and not like anything I had seen before. It was made out of some white substance almost like glass. Many questions flooded my head, where was it from, who made it, when did it arrive on earth. It was in awe, what was this?

I’m plate I live in an old cutlery draw with my girlfriend let me correct myself fiancé and wife to be. Any way I was born in a simple Ikea factory and I have thousands of brother and sister plate which I’ve never met. And NO just because bowl ( my fiance’) is from the Ikea factory too doesn’t mean she’s my sister, SHE IS A BOWL.

Me and bowl are alike in a ton of ways for example with the new trend of sporks, we think they’re perfect for chunky chicken soups, etc.

Guess what day it is?! Soup ’n’ salad Saturday, my favourite day of the week. Me and bowl get to get used together. Her for the soup, (today its minestrone). I get to get used for the salad (today its Caesar).

I just met the nicest ladle Carlana, at dinner, as she was scooping the minestrone. Anyway she is brass with a wooden spoon, and she’s away a lot with her friend Carlos so I guess that’s why I haven’t met her yet.
